Rain on the Roof (1980)
Summary
Janet and John are a frustrated middle class couple; John is an advertising copywriter while Janet is a bored housewife with a suspicion that her husband is having an affair with his business partner's wife Emma after observing them together at their disastrous New Year's Eve party.
The following morning, after her husband has gone to work, she is visited by Billy, an illiterate local youth to whom she once gave reading and writing lessons. Billy's abusive father has recently died, and contact with a Jehovah's Witness has led him to seek solace in religion. Billy hopes that by resuming his lessons he may one day read the Bible. Janet, eager to redress the balance in her broken marriage, makes a move on Billy after he has an adverse reaction to the anti-depressants he has been taking. When John returns home he discovers a naked Billy in the living room, lying under a blanket with a half-dressed Janet. John slaps her.
